Huffington Post Article on NCEO Research

Writing in the Huffington Post, Joseph Blasi reviewed research by NCEO research director Nancy Wiefek. The study, Ownership and Economic Well-Being, finds that "employee stock ownership is linked with better wages, wealth, and benefits for young workers as they move through their first two decades in the workforce." Blasi notes "The young people in ESOP companies had higher median wages and household wealth whether their income was above or below $50,000, whether they were male or female, whether they were people of color or not, whether they were married or single, college-educated or without college, with or without children. This seems to cross over some of the usual fault lines of wealth in American society."
